it does,Jason sent me a sound clip and it sounds EXACTLY the same, i was impressed,. without tuning its a bitch to get a steady idle and wants to dies every now and then but im sending out the PCM this week to hopefully have all that fixed...

I just helped a friend put the same cam in his 99 TA. It fired right up. He is still breaking it in, so taking it easy, not going above 3500. But it lopes hard, and he says he can tell it pulls harder.

Fluid change, and he'll be ready to hammer the hell out of it. He also took of the stock cats. It's a totally different car.

So you just put it in the A4, started it up and it ran without dying? Did resetting the computer help at all?

lol no it stalled a few times and ilde re learn was done,on cold starts its rough but warm starts is terrible, tuning is on the way but as far as running, it runs fine but way rich i dont have any deffinite answers till the tranny gets back and the pcm gets tuned by Thunder, but i can tell ya AT THIS POINT it seems it will be fine in an A4 with decent gearing (i got 3.73s)
